aman ----"---- February 12, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 17 HEAR JANE ADDAMS Leader of Hull House on North Shore February 13; Dasch Quartet in Hour's Program The Wilmette Sunday Evening club will have one of its best programs of the year Sunday night, February 13. Miss Jane Addams will speak on "Im- pressions of Mexico and the Present Situation," a particularly timely topic. The Philharmonic String quartet, now known as "The George Dasch Quar- tet," will render nearly an hour's program. A great banquet was recently given in honor of Miss Addams at the Furni- ture Mart by Chicago's civic leaders. In spite of the size of the banquet hall, is was impossible to accept all the reservations that were made by those who wished to honor Miss Addams. Miss Addams is known throughout the world for the wonderful work that she -had accomplished at Hull House, Chi- cago, which was opened in 1889. She was president of the National Conference of Charities and Correction in 1909, later she was chairman of the International Committee of Women for Permanent Peace, and president of the International Congress of Women in 1919. Miss Addams is the author of the following books: "Democracy and Social Ethics," "Newer Ideals of Peace," "The Spirit of Youth and the City Streets," "20 years at Hull House," "A New Conscience and an Ancient Evil," "The Long Road of Women's Memory," and "Peace and Bread in Time of War." Miss Addams has traveled in many parts of the world and has studied con- ditions in many lands. Her address on Mexico will be of wide interest.
